Princeton. 2003. Princeton University Press. 1st American Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0691117365. 104 pages. hardcover. . keywords: Poetry Translated Anthology Netherlands. FROM THE PUBLISHER - Though the Netherlands has been the site of vigorous literary activity since at least the Beweging van Vijftig (Movement of the Fifties) poets, the status of Dutch as a minor' language spoken by only twenty-two million people has kept its rich poetry more or less a secret. This volume - featuring J. M. Coetzee's finely wrought English translations side-by-side with the originals - brings the work of six of the most important modern and contemporary Dutch poets to light. Ranging in style from the rhetorical to the intensely lyrical, the work here includes examples of myth-influenced modernist verse, nature poetry, experimental poetry, poems conscious of themselves within a pan-European avant-garde, and Cees Nooteboom's uncompromising reflections on the powers and limitations of art. In addition to Nooteboom, the poets represented are Gerrit Achterberg, Hugo Claus, Sybren Polet, Hans Faverey, and Rutger Kopland - a who's who of contemporary Dutch poetry. In Youth, Coetzee's main character claims that of all nations the Dutch are the dullest, the most antipoetic.' With these marvelous translations, the author proves his protagonist wrong. inventory #34912 ISBN: 0691117365.
